The Botanist
HUBRIS CONTEST:
Settled at the picnic table, I was teaching my three-year old granddaughter, Natalie, the process of planting seeds. Surrounded by supplies: seeds, cardboard egg cartons, a bag of soil, a big spoon and a spray bottle filled with water, Natalie carefully filled each section of the egg carton with soil. All the while I explained to her how seeds grow into plants if they have sun, water and food. I believed that she thoroughly understood. She was seriously working.
Grandpa joined us and asked, “What are you doing?”
“We are growing eggs!” Natalie boasted.
I’d better wait till she’s four.
